The background...

This elegant and quirky necklace is designed to open and close at the front, and features a vintage attendance medal along with a key, which I acquired from an antique shop on my recent visit to the UK. I believe that a good education supports success, and the individual who received this medal attended school for all but five days that year! I’ve complemented the shield shaped medallion and key with hand-wired Cherry Quartz beads and textured brass rope chain dating to the 1960s, that I sourced from old warehouse stock.

The detail...

  • sustainably and ethically made in Melbourne
  • there is only one
  • made with antique and vintage materials which may show signs of age in a deepened colour and minor wear.
  • measures 45 cm along the neck edge (refer to my necklace guide for more information)
  • closes with a vintage spring ring clasp
